May 18 On this date we celebrate the Federal Writers Project (FWP). FWP was an extension of the New Deal’s Works Project Administration (WPA) that gave employment between 1935 and 1939 to about 4,500 American writers, 106 of these were African-Americans.
The American Guide Series, a collection of state guidebooks describing the distinctive folkways and histories of the rural and urban regions of the United States dictated most of the employment of the writers. Many prominent Black writers took part in the FWP. The Illinois project hired Margaret Walker, Richard Wright, Willard Motley, Frank Yerby, William Attaway, Fenton Johnson, Arna Bontemps, and Katherine Dunham.
The New York project hired Wright, Claude McKay, Ralph Ellison, Tom Poston, Charles Cunberbatch, Henry Lee Moon, Roi Ottley, Helen Boardman, Ellen Tarry,
and Waring Cuney. Zora Neale Hurston briefly directed the Florida project.

So many of my favorite writers!!!
The flowers were sent by Sis,BIL and The Nephew from Baltimore on Mother's Day. New flowers open almost daily. You can see a picture of Mom behind the flowers. Below picture, you can see the family when we went to Baltimore to see The Nephew get his degree.

At the chiropractor's today, there was an animal chiro there working on the office dog (who had a stroke 2 yrs ago). There is always something interesting happening @ Dr. Lenny's office!
